1995 was an important year in the history of computer development. In that year, Jobs had not yet started researching the iPhone. Instead, he bought Pixar, a professional animation company, from "Star Wars" producer Lucas for 55 million US dollars and produced an animation called "Toy Story".

The film brought in a box office revenue of 170 million US dollars for Jobs and Pixar that year.

In November of that year, riding on the popularity of the movie, Pixar's stock went public. Within a day, the bull market soared, and Jobs' net worth instantly increased to 1.1 billion US dollars.

Also in 1995, Bill Gates' Windows 95 was very successful. The company controlled more than 90% of the personal computer operating system market, and the company's after-tax net profit exceeded 1.4 billion US dollars that year.

Another significant growth in 1995 was the increase in the number of Internet hosts worldwide to 6.64 million. This was followed by explosive growth. That same year, the number of Internet hosts worldwide, designated by the Chinese mainland, surpassed 10 million, reaching 12.8 million, and the number of end users reached 70 million.

Another interesting thing happened in 1995. Sansheng developed a mobile phone, but it did not work properly. The then chairman of Sansheng went to the factory that produced the phone and burned all the products.

Perhaps it was this failure that made Sansheng start to regard mobile phones as a future development goal. They began research and development in 1999 and finally created a world-class brand.

But that was something that happened in the previous life. It is still unknown whether this thing can happen in this life.

Another key point is that Sansheng will develop 256M dynamic memory this year.

In his office, Wan Feng was recalling some major events that would happen next year and that would have a vital impact on Nanwan Group.

There is nothing eye-catching in the automobile sector. Before 2006, China's automobile market was a policy-protected market, and the tariff of up to 225% prevented foreign cars from entering.

This is nothing Wan Feng cares about. What he cares about is the electronic semiconductor market. He wants to see if he can find some bargains from some of the big things he remembers.

Shooting 3D animation has nothing to do with him, and it is not his development direction.

It's not like he hasn't considered making a Windows, and Qin Guanghui's team has done it before, and has developed more than one independent version.

However, the connotation of windows is quite complex. Today, when the West holds hegemony over this industry, they will definitely not allow Eastern countries to have a say in this matter.

Wan Feng knew very well that even if their Windows 95 was better than that of less powerful companies, it would not become the industry standard.

In this case, Wan Feng had no intention of bringing Qin Guanghui's research results to the market.

But we will continue to support research. Sooner or later, China will need its own window interfaces for various operating systems.

In his previous life, he did not see the scene of China's independent system competing for dominance in the world, but this scene will definitely appear in this life.

When the country's strength is sufficient to support them in competing with the West, Huaguang's system may emerge as a dark horse.

But this is a very expensive project, and there is no guarantee of any output. It is unknown whether he can support it.

As for the computer terminal market in 1995, Wanfeng must get a share of it.

It is no exaggeration to say that he occupies one tenth of the market of more than 12 million computers!

If Huaguang can't get a share of the pie, then it will muddy the waters. If I can't make money, no one else can.

If foreigners can't make money, they won't have money to develop new products. Then we'll all be in trouble together and no one will laugh at each other.

After the Spring Festival, Huaguang had many projects that got off to a good start. Both motorcycles and cars had a good start. Even the machine tools, whose sales had always been slow, achieved more than twice the results of the same period last year in the past half month after the New Year.

But the real star was the pager.

By 1994, the prices of both digital and Chinese display machines had dropped to a level acceptable to the general public.

The rapid development of electronic components in the past two years has caused the cost of pagers to plummet.

A component that used to cost a dozen yuan may now cost one or two yuan or even a few cents.

In this way, the cost of pagers has dropped from the original 1,800 yuan to more than 100 yuan now.

There are already several copycat phones on the market, which has squeezed the sales of pagers and has led to a continuous decline in prices, which have fallen below 300 yuan.

The price of Chinese character pagers also fell to around 3,000 yuan.

Another reason for the hot sales of pagers was the rapid proliferation of service desks.

With so many service desks, it is almost impossible to maintain the bottom line of service fees. The service fee standards have also been declining. By the New Year, it had dropped to a monthly service fee of more than 20 yuan. Some service desks even offer services with annual service fees of less than 200 yuan.

Various factors contributed to the explosive growth of the pager market after the New Year.

At the beginning of the new year, the sales volume of pagers caused great trouble for Lingyun.

The sales volume is five times that of the same period last year.

The shipping price of Huaguang pagers is 200 yuan. Because they have switched to a direct sales model, this price goes directly from the factory to the store. The store owner can make a profit of 70 to 80 yuan for selling a digital pager.

Huaguang Paging has been operating in China for several years and has accumulated some brand effects of its own. Therefore, at the same price, its sales volume ranks among the top.

The backlog of products in the warehouse last year was cleared out in just half a month, and the workshop is still working overtime to produce.

Due to the hot sales of digital pagers, the sales volume of Chinese-language pagers has also increased significantly.

In the first and second quarters of 1994, pager sales alone are expected to reach the same level as the entire previous year.

No matter how popular the pager was, in Wan Feng's eyes it was just a flash in the pan, and it could only last until 1996 at most.

Wan Feng has already made the decision that by the end of 1996, pagers will be phased out and all production will be converted to mobile phone manufacturing.

Of course, Lin Lairong's Juchuang Trading was indispensable in the wave of hot pager sales. Juchuang Trading placed an order for 200,000 digital pagers and 20,000 Chinese pagers.

This did not surprise Wan Feng. What surprised Wan Feng was that Juchuang Trading also placed an order for 10,000 computers.

Moreover, the order requires that everything from the machine body to the internal and external packaging instructions must be in English.

Where is this woman moving this computer?

Could it be that it was transferred to the United States?

That's much more interesting.

Through telephone inquiries, we learned that this batch of computers from Juchuang Trading was not going to the United States, but to the United Kingdom, and would enter Europe through the United Kingdom.

Although Wan Feng was a little disappointed that it was not the United States, it was also a happy thing to be able to enter the European market.
